biological evaluation and studies of linear diarylheptanoids from Salisb. as urease inhibitors.

Plants of the family, specifically those belonging to the species, are commonly under consideration as potential therapeutic agents for the management of gastrointestinal diseases. In this study, we carried out a phytochemical study on Salisb. (or so-called "Nghe trang" in Vietnamese) grown in Vietnam, which yields three newly discovered 3,5-diacetoxy diarylheptanoids (1-3) and six known 3,5-dihydroxyl diarylheptanoids (4-9).
